4th of July is almost upon us and I have a week full of patriotic activities planned! We are going to learn a little about the flag, our country, and talk about fireworks.
NOTE: Some of the activity links go straight to a pin on Pinterest instead of a blog page. Read the description of the pin for the activity instructions. If you are new here, make sure to check out the Themed Curriculum page for more details about how to use this curriculum. Looking for a different theme? Check out all of our themes here.
As you go through this week’s activities make sure to use #KL4L4thofJuly and @kidslearningforlife to share the activities you do! Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook or Instagram!
